[Partner Event] Challenging Red–Blue Stereotypes: From Problems to Solutions
·OnlineOnlineLet's join our friends at Braver Angels.
Please Reg HERE for the Zoom link and so we can track attendees from all Meetup sites.
In a time of deep political polarization, it's easy to fall into the trap of assuming the worst about "the other side." This event invites people from across the political spectrum to come together for an honest, respectful conversation that aims to challenge common stereotypes, uncover shared values, and promote understanding—not conversion.
Hosted in the spirit of curiosity over combat, the discussion will explore the myths we carry about people with opposing political views and offer space for participants to listen, reflect, and speak openly without fear of judgment.
Whether you lean red, blue, or somewhere in between, you're welcome.
Come with curiosity. Leave with perspective.Questions? PM me on Meetup or find me on LinkedIn
